"They're here! They're here! Finally!

will ya like post the file up here for the poor folk bell?

NPR has re run it every year for as long as i can remember. probably available somewhere near you.

it's very dated. but still kind of entertaining.

I have War of the worlds, and many other radio programs, on tape...a good insight to the USA as it once was...it's fun to play 'em from time to time.
